1/ I was at #TaeKwonDo today, and I had a realization that has probably been too long in coming.

I'm about one year into TKD as an adult (over 40). I suck.† I don't think I suck particularly more or less than any other middle aged guy with my experience, but still, I'm not good. I keep training because almost everything I really value in my life came more from not quitting than any innate ability.

Meanwhile, I'm an #educator at the #university level.

† more on this to come

"We talk with #sex #educator Erica Smith about the negative effects that #purity culture has had on our #sexual liberation. In the name of #religion and what we've been taught by societal norms, have we lost the beauty and innocence of the #Godly sexual #experience? And I do mean Godly! This was a design from the heavens so that humans could join in creation and at the same time experience pleasure that could only be described as #supernatural..."

Making some DIY classroom decorations this year. I was especially pleased with this one.

Hi, I'm Tom!

I'm a #maths #teacher and a #museum #educator who works as a #freelancer attempting to bring the two together by encouraging and empowering #cultural organisations to explore the #mathematics in their stories, objects & exhibitions.

I play #guitar, run the local #MathsJam, try to keep up with #movies, and have a habit of smooshing bits of different interests and hobbies together to see what happens. I'm a fan of the Oxford comma, but not necessarily consistent in its use.

Gosh, it's been a while! Have just checked back on this profile after a rather frenetic spring/summer term.

Question for all those on @edutooters. Do you feel like the academic year now feels shorter or longer post-COVID?

I had so much to do this year...

I moved to a tiny Alaskan village to be a teacher. I earn $15,000 more than in other states and only have 5 students.

Hi there, I'm a #librarian, #archivist, #educator, and Special Olympics mom who has been ARMY since early 2016 who preaches the gospel of Bangtan whenever I get a chance. 💜 (My ID is both a shout out to my original bias, Joonie, and my real life job because I was Archivesgrrl online before BTS was a twinkle in Bang PD's eye.) #vintageARMY #dopeoldpeople #academicARMY #rkives

Luhrs & Associates remembers Islene Pinder (1929-2012), founding director of BALAM Dance Theatre & a trailblazing #choreographer, #dance #educator, #movement analyst & assoc. prof. at Lehman College-CUNY. She undertook anthropological studies of #Balinese culture and #dance. We remember her laugh, smile, and love of dance and the arts.

I have created a #Fediverse #community for post-secondary educators in #ComputerScience and #ComputerEngineering. If you're a CSE #educator and you have interest in discussions with your peers, please join up!

Personally, I am particularly interested in teaching with free and open tools and techniques, but bring your own flavor of topics!

If you're a #museum #educator looking to develop your #digital skills you might find the Enhance Digital Teaching Platform from the Education & Training Foundation (ETF) useful: free EdTech & Digital Skills microlearning modules aimed at educators: https://enhance.etfoundation.co.uk/

Taking full advantage requires signing up for an account, but that's free & allows you to record completion, including badges you've earned. It's based on the ETF's Digital Teaching Professional Framework (DTPF) which was one of the digital skills frameworks I reviewed in my PgCert research project, the results of which formed the backbone of the Digital Skills category ( https://gem.org.uk/gems-competency-framework/digital-skills/ ) added to the Group for Education in Museums (GEM)'s Core Competencies in the update project I led a couple of years ago. This means that the Enhance platform, whilst not precisely aligned with @gem_heritage 's Competency Framework ( https://gem.org.uk/gems-competency-framework/ ), nevertheless shares some roots with it.

If you sign up, let me know - maybe we can follow & encourage each other!

I began using #Mastodon recently. Its possibilities are new to me. I learn by tapping on options, researching, playing around & making mistakes.

As an #educator, I'm confronted with why people struggle with grasping the tech they use & lack basic scientific knowledge. It's no mere individual failing but a broader issue rooted in outdated systemic problems.

#Curiosity is learned, it needs stimulation & cultivation. Kudos to all #teachers who understand this & work towards solutions.
